1. A driver assistance system comprising:
a calculation unit configured to calculate a cruising range as a distance at which a vehicle to be driven by power supplied from a battery can travel with a current remaining charged amount of the battery; and
an information presentation unit configured to display, on a display device, a reachable range as a reachable position range within the cruising range from a current position of the vehicle,
wherein the calculation unit calculates an open road cruising range as the cruising range in a case where an open road is used and/or an expressway cruising range as the cruising range in a case where a nearest expressway from the current position is used, and
wherein the information presentation unit displays an open road reach range and an expressway reach range such that an end point of the expressway reach range as the reachable range in a case where the expressway is used is located closer to the current position of the vehicle than an outer edge of the open road reach range as the reachable range in a case where the open road is used.
